Outdoors under a bright sky, two men perform a flag-hoisting ritual beside a tall copper flagstaff wrapped in yellow and red marigold garlands and a straw bundle. The man on the left wears a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and holds a brass dish. The man on the right, shown from behind with a shaved head, wears a white dhoti and shawl with red borders and holds a brass plate. Coconut palms stand behind the pole and an orange-painted stone base is visible at the bottom. The scene is a flag-hoisting ceremony.
